Driveseries!

The slip-resistant driveseries! surface is a repeating pattern of three lines elevated above the bed of the tile. These elevated lines provide traction points above where contaminants rest. The driveseries! is a safer, smarter and better surface for your dealership drive and shop areas.

Rugged, yet sophisticated are the comments customers make about the driveseries! surface. Safer, smarter and better is what the driveseries! surface delivers.

Sand paper textured surfaces don’t properly address your STF (slip, trip and fall) risk. There is a significant difference between the driveseries! and other products. Build the best, build it with AutoStone.

The driveseries! surface looks great, performs even better and is proven to be the best choice for automotive service and shop environments.

Throughout the day, contaminants are tracked onto the service drive and shop floors. Contaminants include oils, grease, solvents and rubber transfer which remain on your floor until a proper cleaning.

The business of automotive service has customers and employees walking on floors where contaminants present. These contaminants create a greater incident for a STF accidents. The floor and surface you choose greatly impacts how effective you will be at managing STF risk.

The driveseries! surface is a smarter design and a better surface to help you manage the risk you face in your service drive and shop work areas.

The reality of automotive service is that your employees and customers are constantly exposed to risk associated with STF’s (slip, trips and falls). Your service drive and shop have constant exposure to oil, solvents, rubber transfer and other contaminants.

Is the floor system you have selected for your service drive and shop areas providing you the best protection to help reduce this risk? When you measure the risk associated with STF’s in your dealership, the driveseries! gives you a better tool to manage that risk.

Moisture migration is faster (when surface is sloped) due to the unique surface design of the driveseries! Water molecules are “sticky” and hold on to random textured (sand paper) surfaces. The driveseries! design channels water and contaminants more quickly to the drain.

Bright finish

Bright finish cleans easier and looks better in your service drive and shop areas. Bright is a permanent sealant baked-in during the manufacturing process. No other tile product offers the features and benefits that Bright finish offers your dealership. Better performance, better appearance and the best product for your service drive and/or service department.

Other products with “sand-paper” surfaces tend to hold-on to rubber transfer, oil, grease, solvents or other contaminants. Floors darken over time as these contaminants remain embedded on surface. Such surfaces require greater cleaning effort to retard build-up of contaminants.

Your STF (slip, trip and fall) risk increases over time when this condition occurs. As the “sand paper” surface retains rubber transfer, dirt, grease and grime; your risk for a STF’s increase. When moisture is introduced to the surface, these contaminants re-activate which contribute to greater STF accidents.

This service lane looks great all day long. Bright surfaces aid your dealership cleaning practices. Bright is a 100% non-absorptive surface so chemicals and contaminants are easily removed with standard dealership cleaning practices.

Bright finish reflects light and provides greater luminosity in your service department. Bright surfaces not only look great, clean better – but they reflect better on your service department and service product.

Bright is a permanent sealant that lasts for the life of your dealership. Bright is always at work retarding rubber transfer, aiding dealership cleaning practices and presenting your service department in the best light possible. Bright finish is a better product for your automotive service department.

The driveseries! elevated traction surface is a smarter design that provides a better surface to help manage your STF (slip, trip and fall) risk in your service drive and department areas.

Throughout the day, contaminants are tracked onto your service drive and shop floors. Contaminants include oils, grease, solvents and rubber transfer which remain until removed with a proper floor cleaning process. However, until removed, these contaminants pose continued risk for STF (slip, trip and fall) events to occur.

The driveseries! surface is a repeating pattern of 3-lines elevated above the bed of the tile. These lines enable shoe (sole) traction to occur above the tile bed, where moisture and/or surface contaminants reside. The driveseries elevated traction surface is a smarter design that provides a better surface to manage STF (slip, trip and fall) risk in these service spaces.

This unique surface design (3-line design) provides faster moisture migration when floor is sloped to drain. Because water molecules are "sticky" they tend to grab-on to random textured surfaces (sandpaper type surfaces). The 3-line surface design allows water and contaminants to migrate faster to the drain.

Employees and customers are constantly exposed to STF conditions in the service and shop space. The question you should consider is, “what is the best floor surface to addresses the reality of the services we provide our customers and employees in our drive-lane and service space?”

The driveseries! surface provides dealers a floor that channels liquids while providing greater traction which can help reduce your exposure costly and harmful STF events.

Moisture migration when your floor is sloped to drain) is also improved by the drive series! surface. Water molecules are "sticky" and hold onto random textured surfaces. The drive series! line surface design helps channel water molecules mixed with contaminants faster to the drain.

Surface micro-pores that exist with other tile or clinker type products collect and hold on to rubber transfer and other contaminants. This type surface is difficult to clean and will darken over time.
